Netflix Narrows Down JESSICA JONES Release Window
At this year's Summer Television Critics Association tour, Netflix has given a more precise indicator of when they'll stream Marvel's AKA Jessica Jones starring Krysten Ritter as the titular heroine and featuring Mike Colter as Luke Cage.
In addition to the Jessica Jones release date info, Netflix also stated that fans should expect a new Marvel series to stream every six months. With Daredevil premiering earlier this year in April, a six-month gap would have Jessica Jones launching in October, which supports Netflix's comment that Jessica Jones would stream in 4Q 2015. Continuing along that same six-month release window, Daredevil season 2 (which is filming in NYC right now. Jessica Jones wrapped 3 days ago.) would premire in April 2016. This statement from Netflix refutes previous remarks from the company that each Marvel series would steam a year apart. While Netflix does not release ratings, perhaps the viewership for Daredeveil is prompting the streaming service to be more ambitious in it's collaboration with Marvel/Disney?
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS FOR MARVEL'S AKA JESSICA JONES: After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City. Marvel's Jessica Jones will star Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, David Tennant as Purple Man, Rachel Taylor as "Hellcat" Patsy Walker, Carrei Ann-Moss as Harper and Eka Darville as Malcolm. Melissa Rosenberg serves as executive showrunner.
